To: git
Here are the topics that have been cooking in my tree. Commits
prefixed with '+' are in 'next' (being in 'next' is a sign that a
topic is stable enough to be used and is a candidate to be in a
future release). Commits prefixed with '-' are only in 'seen', and
aren't considered "accepted" at all. Each topic is annotated with
one-line comment of its status (e.g., "Waiting for response", "Will
merge to 'master'") and may be annotated with URLs of messages that
led to the status, but these references are by no means exhaustive.
A topic without enough support may be discarded after a long period
of inactivity (of course, it can be resubmitted when new interest
arises).
Copies of the source code to Git live in many repositories, and the
following is a list of the ones I push into or their mirrors. Some
repositories have only a subset of branches.
With maint, master, next, seen, todo:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/
git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git/
https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git/
https://github.com/git/git/
https://gitlab.com/git-scm/git/
With all the integration branches and topics broken out:
https://github.com/gitster/git/
Even though the preformatted documentation in HTML and man format
are not sources, they are published in these repositories for
convenience (replace "htmldocs" with "manpages" for the manual
pages):

* ep/pack-objects-streamed-large-blobs (2026-11-01) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2026-11-04 at 1e64290722)
+ pack-objects: use size_t for streamed large blobs
The code in 'git pack-objects' used to truncate object sizes on
platforms where 'long' is 32-bit but 'size_t' is larger (like 64-bit
Windows) when handling large objects exceeding 4GiB, which has been
corrected by using 'size_t' and 'off_t' appropriately.

+ remote: resolve "simple" @{push} when pushing to another remote
+ remote: move "simple" @{push} resolution into a helper
The 'simple' push resolution in 'git rev-parse @{push}' has been
updated to mirror the behavior of 'git push'. When the configured push
remote differs from the fetch remote, it now resolves to the branch of
the same name on the push remote instead of failing.

introduced in newer GNU coreutils.

- remote-curl: retry transient HTTP errors in post_rpc()
- http: add http.retryStatusCodes config option
- http: add exponential backoff without Retry-After
- http: fix retry count and Retry-After timing
The HTTP retry mechanism has been enhanced to implement exponential
backoff when a 'Retry-After' header is missing, to allow configuring
additional transient HTTP status codes (like 502 or 503) for
retries, and to extend these retry capabilities to HTTP POST
operations such as 'git-upload-pack'.

+ pack-objects: use size_t for streamed large blobs
The code in 'git pack-objects' used to truncate object sizes on
platforms where 'long' is 32-bit but 'size_t' is larger (like 64-bit
Windows) when handling large objects exceeding 4GiB, which has been
corrected by using 'size_t' and 'off_t' appropriately.

- upload-pack: fix slow fetches from a shallow repository
The server-side computation of shallow boundaries for a protocol v2
fetch from a shallow repository has been optimized by directly
sending all known shallow roots, avoiding expensive commit history
walks and matching protocol v0 behavior. Additionally, local commit
history traversal for 'git fetch --unshallow' has been corrected to
visit each commit exactly once, preventing hangs on repositories
with long histories.

. branch: allow recursion with no tracking name
. branch: do not track a start point with no ref
The --recurse-submodules option in 'git branch' has been fixed to
avoid a crash when the start point is not a reference (e.g., a raw
object ID). The creation path now skips setting up tracking and
properly forwards the absent tracking name to the submodule helper.

. credential/libsecret: load secrets explicitly
The 'libsecret' credential helper has been updated to explicitly
load secrets instead of relying on the search flag, preventing
assertion failures when items are concurrently deleted or locked.

The expensive rename detection logic in 'git log --follow' across

As various other people confirmed, the changes also look good to me. It
fixes the bug at hand, that's the most important.
About the NEEDSWORK comments, I'd suggest to integrate that as-is (above
OBJECT_INFO_FOR_PREFETCH) for now.
